#OutandAboutAva checks out Bass Babies Program @BassMuseum

The new season of Bass Babies started March 4th and my Mommy was very interested in bringing me to check out the program for 2-4 year olds at the Bass Museum, located at 2100 collins avenue, Miami Beach, fl 33139. 

"This program is for the museum’s youngest visitors and those who care for them. Bass Babies is a weekly class where toddlers and their caretakers work closely to discover creative and fun ways to interact with art through song, gallery activities and art making."

We joined the session 3: discovering the senses March 11 th class which focused on "hear".
The intimate class held from 10-11:30am was led into singing "Old McDonald Had A Farm" by the teacher who also played the guitar. The children were encouraged to sing along and mimic the animal sounds. Later in class a recording of sounds were played for the children to identify. Puppets were also introduced to the kids and an instrument to listen to. We then created our own instruments, shakers made out of rice or beans from recycled bottles. The kids especially loved decorating them. After a light snack of goldfish crackers and water provided by the museum , we headed out to the courtyard for more song and play with the newly made shaker instruments. The museum provided a safe and fun environment for me to learn. We can not wait to return on Tuesday!

#OutandAboutAva goes to Healthy Kids Day #Event @MiChiMu

On Saturday January 4, 2014, my Mommy, Daddy and me , better known as Heigh Party of 3 , attended Healthy Kids Day, a family event that encouraged parents and their children to come out and have fun while learning about being healthy! This event was held at The Miami Children’s Museum (also known as @MiChiMu), a non-profit educational institution located on Watson Island, in the city of Miami,Florida. We participated in fun physical activities, learned how to prepare quick and healthy snacks, met volunteers from local health care organizations, and much more!  I had fun at the Imagination playground and made delicious design placemats in the Art Studio! My Grandma Annette taught my Father that having great health was your greatest source of wealth! So what better way to start the new year than on a good note by learning to keep our minds and body healthy! Stay up to date on more exciting family events at miamichildrensmuseum.org, Facebook.com/miami.childrens.museum and Follow @MiChiMu! Enjoy pics from our fun-filled day on my mommy's blog,
